Mr.. Editon:;y A notice posted on

Il seems TO be generally known
that the roads leading through
Hillsboro Township are in a terri
BILE condition. Why are they 80 :?
DO your business men want TO drive
the e,ttire uogon trade another route
to Durham? If,hey do, they will
succeed beautifully. a road a

less something is done soon. The
planters are clamoring tor better
roads, and If the old ones are not
made better, the nen ones will be
tried. Thousands OF wagon modey
Is left in your town. 1t is helping
you all, and, IT you wish to keep Il,
you must more and ntore Qutck.
With $40 road scraper, and two
good horses and a pillow, many OF

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

CHICAGO, March 2l.-[Specal Telegram to
the BEE. ]-CATTLE.-Tte live stock markets
to-day were on the down grade, that Is in the
cattle and hog departments. Supplies were
considerably larger than last Monday, cattle
showing about 5000 increase, hogs 1900, and
sheep fully 1000 increase. Cattle buyers
were naturally anxious to get back a lar4e
slice of the recent advance. and hog buyers
were also decidedly bearlsh. The sheep
trade, however, was strong Receipts to-
day were comparatively heavy. Buyers
wanted cattle, but they wanted them at con-
siderably reduced prices. Buyers held of,
bidding very low, and salesmen were also
rather deliberate, knowing that nothing
would be gained by unseemly haste to sell.
Prices were 15925c lower than Friday last,
and were 25(030c lower than the prices of
Wednesday last, when the market was most
excited and prices were the highest. OF
course sales were made above and
below these rates. but these
figures fairly represent the average decline

CHiCAGo March 2l.-lSpecial Telegram TO
The BEE. The wheat market held very
steady to-day. Scalpers still had the wheat
pit TO themselves this morning, very much to
their own surprise. The talk and thought of
manipulation is so persistent that gossipeis
are unhappy unless the clique houses are
doing something on one or the other side OF
the market continually. The price was
steady at exactly the price of the late session
Saturday night, although a little under the
regular close of last week. The week really
Is likely to depend largely on statistics made
at the seaboard. The bulls have plainly al
tered their tactics and do not propose to bull
dOze all advance. This Is looked upon as a
sign of strength by the general crowd, and
indicating that margins cut no figure with the
three or four big syndicates which hold long
wheat. If the bull hopes of big clearances
and rapid home consumption are realized,
the advance in price will come without any
unpopular manipulation, and the unloading
process will be easy and natural. The official
announcement of the visible supply figures,
showing the decrease in wheat to be 100000
bushels, came so near the early estimates that
no effect at all was produced on the market

the same time of rather exceptional strength,
